Terrible

This product is an absolute joke. So now instead of watering my 30 or so houseplants with just a watering can I now must carry the foam bottle too? It is very messy and gets all over the leaves so then I have to insure the foam is taken off the leaves... Someone in R & D surely messed up an already great product not to mention I guess no consumer research was done either! I have watered my plants twice with the foam and have already gone thru a half of bottle!!! You expect me to buy 2 bottles a month???? Not going to happen.
Some companies will do anything for a buck I guess...

Response from Miracle-GroBy James, Miracle Gro Consumer Service, May 17, 2016
We apologize that you have found the design of the Miracle-Gro Indoor Plant Food bottle to be unsatisfactory. Although we test the packaging very thoroughly before we introduce it to the public, we know that your experience may be different from our own. It is only through feedback that we can improve our products and packaging. Thank you for taking the time to give us your comments.
In the meantime, we recommend Miracle-Gro All Purpose Plant Food or another granular fertilizer product for all of your plant food needs. This way, you can dilute the granules into the watering can and water your plants as you did before.
We want you to be confident in our products, and because of this we offer a guarantee on our products. If you have any questions or concerns, or would like to discuss our guarantee, then please contact us at any time that is convenient for you: http://tinyurl.com/noc5mcg

Your products have always done what you said they would do.
I cannot think of a better endorsement.

Bad idea
on August 1, 2015

Who ever thought this product was an improvement doesn't grow house plants! First of all, it means you have to not only drag your watering can around, but now also this bottle. And I don't know about your plants, but mine seldom have enough exposed soil on which to apply the foam, or it gets all over the leaves and then you have the additional burden of "rinsing the foam from the leaves as you water." So, I don't have room to apply foam to soil, so I put it in the watering can when I fill it--and it foams up all over the place. My local store said they don't sell the old bottle anymore, so I guess I am going to another product. Hare-brained idea, that is all I can say.
Pros: there are none
Cons: Messy, Didn't work as expected, Difficult to use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This stuff sucks.

Expertise:Beginner
I've been using the discontinued drops in the tall bottle for 10 years or more with never a problem, rapid watering, no mess. This new stuff is baloney, the foam doesn't go where you want it, it gets on the floor, on the leaves, it looks disgusting. Why did you change? I used the foam and ONLY because I am going on vacation and want the plants fed did I go back to buy the blue crystals; it took me 40 minutes to find a container then to measure and water all the plants; this took 5 minutes with the drops. You've lost a customer because I'm going looking for someone else's product that available in a reasonably sane means of use.
Cons: Didn't work as expected, Messy, Difficult to use, time consuming, difficult to use around base of plan
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Indoor plant food

I have not been able to use this product because I can't get the pump to work. I came on the website to see if I was doing something wrong. I had hoped a conversion of how many teaspoons or tablespoon is in one pump. Didn't get that because I started reading the reviews. After reading them it seems I'm better off using this product.
Just Miracle Gro wanting to know my age makes me not want to buy their products. When does that matter?

We're sorry to hear about your trouble with our product! If you cannot get the pump working, you can mix just under 1 tsp with 32 fl. oz. of water. (1 tsp = 5 ml, 4 pumps of non-foaming version or 8 pumps with foaming applicator = 4 ml) If you have any other concerns or questions please reach out to our Consumer Services team at 888-295-6902 for assistance.

I love the bottle it’s in, makes it easy to push down and add . i highly recommend this.

Great product! It's easy to use, however, when I purchased it, it was leaky and when I used it, it made a HORRIBLE squeak sound. Other than that, it's really helped my plants and I highly recommend it!
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Good Directions, Quality
Cons: Messy
